2017 Ionic Developer Survey

Build apps with web tech you know and love

Know how to build websites? Then you already know how to build mobile
apps. Ionic Framework offers the best web and native app components for
building highly interactive native and progressive web apps.

Free & Open Source

Ionic Framework is a 100% free and open source project, licensed under
MIT. It will always remain free to use, powered by a massive world-wide
community.

Fully Cross-Platform

Build progressive web and native mobile apps for every major app store,
with one codebase. Ionic works and looks beautiful wherever it runs.

Premier Native Plugins

Use over 120 native device features like Bluetooth, HealthKit, Finger
Print Auth, and more with Cordova/PhoneGap plugins and TypeScript
extensions.

First-class Documentation

Built with real app examples, component demos, guides, and how-to’s to
get you up and running with mobile apps faster than ever before.

write once. deploy anywhere.

One code base.
Running everywhere.

Ionic is the only mobile app stack that enables web developers apps for
all major app stores and the mobile web with a single code base. And with
Ionic’s Platform Continuity, your app looks and feels
at home on every device.

Performance obsessed

Speed is so important, you only notice when it isn't there. Ionic is
built to perform and behave great on the latest mobile devices with best
practices like efficient hardware accelerated transitions, and
touch-optimized gestures. Trust us, you'll be impressed.

Beautifully designed

Clean, simple, and functional. Ionic is designed to work and display
beautifully on all current mobile devices and platforms. With ready-made
components, typography, and a gorgeous (yet extensible) base theme that
adapts to each platform, you'll be building in style.

Native and web optimized

Ionic emulates native app UI guidelines and uses native SDKs, bringing
the UI standards and device features of native apps together with the
full power and flexibility of the open web. Ionic uses Cordova or
Phonegap to deploy natively, or runs in the browser as a Progressive Web
App.

Loved by some of the best people and companies on earth

Ionic is a shining example of a high-quality framework that takes advantage
of Angular's power and flexibility, enabling developers to build
production-ready mobile apps and Progressive Web Apps, in a fraction of the
time.

Ionic is the framework that I use for all of my projects, and I'm not sure I
can give a bigger compliment than that. The innate sense of style and
sophistication built into Ionic is awesome and makes building
professional-level mobile applications a snap.

Ionic will dramatically change the way mobile apps are built. Their choice
of AngularJS means building functionality is now a breeze and it feels
near-native. Your developers and your users will thank you.

I was so inspired when I found Ionic. It fills a gap that’s missing when
building for mobile and solves many complexities that otherwise require
multiple libraries, keeping your code cleaner. Overall, it just makes mobile
development fun and fast, so you can build more!
